Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until incorporated; do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Add the chocolate chips and chopped pecans, folding them in gently.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
